I'll wait for the whole article before making up my mind but it does sound similar to the mad sports personality (whose name escapes me at the moment) who said that disabled people are being punished for sins in past lives.

A teenager collapsed today as he told a court how he was preyed on by a TV actor in a theatre stairwell. The teenager was overwhelmed as he recalled the moment he was allegedly assaulted at the age of 14 during a rehearsal for a show.

The actor, who cannot be identified because of his age, (???) is alleged to have attacked the boy to prove to his girlfriend that he was bisexual. (????)

Opening the case at Blackfriars Crown Court, in central London, Timothy Forster, prosecuting, said the performer sent his alleged victim a text message suggesting the pair should engage in a sex act in front of the girl. He allegedly forced himself on the teenager in an internal fire escape at the theatre in July 2010 after the boy refused his advances.

The next day, he raped him at the same theatre, jurors were told.

Further incidents took place on a weekly basis over a six-month period, "none of which he wanted," Mr Forster said. Jurors heard how the TV actor's girlfriend first approached the teenager during a rehearsal and broached the subject of his sexuality.

"Later that same day, (the actor) came up to him and asked if he had spoken to (his girlfriend) and then, out of the blue, he said to (the boy), 'I think I'm bi'," the prosecutor said.

"(The boy) took it to mean he was telling him, 'I am bisexual'. (The actor) then asked (the boy) to come downstairs with him."

The boy refused and that night the actor sent him a string of text messages "to say that he had to prove to (his girlfriend) that he was bi and saying that he wanted to 'do it' with (him) and do it so that (his girlfriend) could watch," Mr Forster said.

The next day, he "grabbed" the boy, "pulled him down the stairs" and performed a sex act on him, jurors were told.

The teenager, who gave evidence from behind a curtain, struggled to compose himself as he recalled the alleged episode.

"He forced me to go down there, I didn't want to go down there," he said.

Proceedings were briefly adjourned when the teenager was asked to detail what happened and was unable to respond. But he collapsed soon after the hearing resumed, when asked to expand on the alleged attack in the stairwell. Jurors looked on in shock as the court heard a thud from behind the screen and the hearing was adjourned for a second time.

The jury was later sent home for the day.

The TV actor denies one count of oral rape in July 2010 and three counts of sexual assault between July 2010 and September 2010.

Words fail me too. Doing something that is so disgusting and wrong to a defenceless child is not an illness, it is a CRIME. We are NOT animals who are ruled by instinct, we have self-control and we CAN use it. The Bible teaches self-control and personal responsibility, has the cardinal not studied it?

No he obviously hasn't, he just takes the money and the prestige. He has joined the "anything goes" brigade who will find an excuse for any disgusting, immoral human behaviour.

False Religion is showing itself and becoming more and more blatant.

As for Ken (Bill) Roache wasnt he the one who was bragging about his own immoral behaviour in the Press not long ago?

Isn't 'our Ken' legendary for his unsavory financial activities as well his sexual exploits with women half his age, Emma Jesson (Weather girl) to name but one who is young enough to be his grand daughter!

Then dumped her because he wanted to focus on his “spiritual path” and a member of the Pure Love Movement!...And yet here he is is telling us all that sex victims bring it on themselves...Spread the love and harmony Ken on your "spiritual path”!

Talking about people who are accused of being abusers, he insisted: “Whether they’re proven guilty or not, we should not be judgmental about anybody, ever”.He added: “If somebody has done something wrong then the law will take its course, but even so all of us, whatever whether they’re proven guilty or not – we shouldn’t go around condemning, unforgiving.“We should always be totally forgiving about everything.”IIRC didn't he sue a newspaper because they called him boring (maybe the Sun). ha ha he wasn't quite so forgiving then.

The Catholic Archbishop of Durban, Wilfrid Fox Napier, has described paedophilia as a psychological "illness, not a criminal condition".

Cant believe such a stupid guy can become archbishop. The cardinal must be psychologically or mentally ill not to be able to differentiate condition from crime. Of course paedos are psychologically ill hence their crimes. Their illness is a condition, but their deed of violating minor is an act of crime. Condition and crime are two different things altogether.

Spot on Aiyoyo.IMO, they are criminally insane.

Whatever their excuses, they are a DANGEROUS THREAT to society. FACT.Every criminal can indolge himself in self-gratifying crime and then offer some sort of 'mitigating' excuse.The rest of us control ourselvesand don't commit the crime, that's socially acceptable behaviour,respecting the rights of others if we wish to be able to assert rights for ourselves, in return.Transgression on others' rights is self-indulgence and is a violation against social rights.

I might be in a minority here but I don't consider paedophilia to be a mental health issue of any sort. I don't believe paedophiles to be criminally insane either. No amount of psychological analysis can convince me otherwise.

So are politicians like Margaret Hodge (nee Oppenheimer) who famously called a child abused victim as “mentally unstable and extremely disturbed”....For then tony blair to make her Minister for Children! You couldn't write it

Maybe monsters like these politicians and idiots like Ken, whom live in the most removed world to the rest of society, should read some of the victims stories like below

A woman who spent her early teens at the Jersey children's home yesterday told how she used to be drugged, beaten and sexually abused there.Mum-of-two Pamela, now 49, spoke out after it emerged that ankle shackles, stocks and canes had been found at Haut de la Garenne, once home to 1,000 vulnerable children.

Pamela said that every night staff pulled cowering children from their beds and battered and raped them. She added: "The things that happened there are indescribable, the most cruel, sadistic and evil acts you could think of."She was among victims who have spoken out after a child's skull was found under a concrete floor at the home - known locally as Colditz.

Police fear more bodies may be buried there and six search areas have been pinpointed by a dog trained to sniff out human remains.

---

Jersey social worker Simon Bellwood was sacked early last year after speaking out, and popular health minister Stuart Syvret, 42, was fired in November after publicising the suppressed Sharp Report into abuse allegations.

Disturbing allegations about the murder of children in care have characterised other scandals I investigated in Britain, but today I can reveal for the first time the links between the abuse I uncovered at care homes in Islington, North London, and the horrifying discoveries on Jersey. But hundreds of children's files mysteriously disappeared in Islington

Two other Jersey-born social workers, who for legal reasons I cannot name, also worked in Islington and later with young offenders. One arranged more of those mysterious sailing trips to Guernsey, the other sent children to Rabet's centre. Both were accused of abuse.

Never liked the man, something about him can't put my finger on it, and thats him only a few weeks ago in a newspaper headline said he had slept with a 1000 woman. Sorry is a easy word to say, but does he know what the word means I doubt it.

And so are UK judges like this monster.....

On 2nd August 2012, Judge Francis Gilbert QC (left) was appointed resident judge at Exeter. He has a long – and to me, inexplicable – history in the West Country of handing out light sentences to, giving bail to, and overturning verdicts against, paedophiles – primarily in Plymouth. On 13th July 2011, six footballers imprisoned for raping 12 year old girls were released, after a ruling that their 2-year sentences were “excessive”. The six men all admitted various charges of rape against two 12 year old girls in a park late at night. Mr Judge Francis Gilbert QC ruled that being imprisoned was inappropriate as it was a ‘difficult’ case. The men were released, their sentences cut to one year…and suspended.

Just 16 days later, Gilbert was at it again. Try to absorb this logic: Anthony Milsom – described by the trial judge as a “manipulative and predatory” sex offender, was jailed indefinitely for public protection. Milsom admitted a series of offences dating back to the early 1990s including 16 counts of possessing indecent images of children, 21 charges of making indecent images, and five charges of indecent assault on a little girl when she was aged between four and eight. At the original trial, the court also heard that Milsom had newspaper cuttings relating to high-profile child murder inquiries including Milly Dowler, Sophie Hook, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, as well as the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

His sentence was effectively life…but appeal court Judges (of whom one was Francis Gilbert QC) cut it to three and a half years.

And in 2005, he granted the request of the two paedophile defendants Palmer & Tapper to take a holiday during their trial. The reason for a holiday, they told Francis Gilbert, was stress. The couple, who ran a landlord and letting agency, assaulted their young victims after finding them homes when they came out of social services care. The two chums legged it to Turkey (nice place if you’re into little boys). Palmer was finally caught after an Interpol operation in late 2009, but by 2011 Tapper was still at large.

Going by Bill Roache's logic that past life sins have a way of catching you up, then he may well pay for his sinful remark in his future life.His remark is a sinful mental trangression against abused victims.

I feel the same about him Cherry Blossom. Dislike him intensely. Oh eerrr I seem to say that about most of these so called slebs though.

Eddie and Keela alerted to items and places concerned with the McCanns - and importantly to no other items or places.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle cat'.

Kate's book 'madeleine', Page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the 'odour of death' three months later from a body that had been so swiftly removed?"

After forensic analysis of the 'Last Photo' there is little doubt now that the pool photo CANNOT POSSIBLY have been taken on the Thursday 3rd May, but most likely on the Sunday 29th April. So, where was Madeleine at lunchtime on Thursday?

John McCann:"This was terrible for them, Kate dressed Amelie in her sister's pyjamas and the baby said: "Maddy's jammies, where is Maddy?"Martin Roberts:"If Madeleine's pyjamas had not, in fact, been abducted then neither had Madeleine McCann."Dr Martin Roberts: A Nightwear Job

Death Toll in McCann Case

Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after a 'Dossier' was handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room the next day. Brenda paid the price.

Colin Shalke died suddenly in mysterious circumstances with a significant amount of morphine in his system. At the Inquest the coroner said there was no evidence as to how he had come to take morphine, and no needle mark was found.

Ex-Met DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window' of opportunity' from 3 mins to 45 mins, in accordance with their remit, to allow the staged abduction to happen.

Dr Gonçalo Amaral, retired PJ Coordinator: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened, they don't need to investigate anything. When MI5 opens their files, then we will know the truth."

Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: "Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house or building equipment."

The McCanns, Operation Grange and the BBC are all working towards one goal - to make us keep looking at what happened (or didn't happen) on 3rd May, instead of looking at what happened days earlier. There is NO evidence of an abduction. Smithman is ALL they have got. Without that, they are sunk. No wonder Operation Grange clings on to Smithman...
